EMC news – Local businesses are taking different approaches in trying to benefit from $2.1 billion in spending on Ottawa’s forthcoming lightrail system. Some local companies are going all out to attract attention from the three international consortia of companies shortlisted to win the LRT contract, while other businesses haven’t decided if – or how – they can contribute to the project. But no matter their approach, representatives from 250 local companies flocked to the CE Centre on Feb. 9 for a trade show and matchmaking session to show off their wares to the consortia. A representative from Harris Rebar, a steel manufacturer located off Carp Road north of Stittsville, said the trade show was the perfect opportunity to meet with the consortia and try to impress them with some of the upgrades the company is making to clinch a deal with the LRT project.

EMC news – When Jim McLaughlin was a little boy, he went skating on the Rideau Canal when he wasn’t supposed to and fell through the ice. “I went through up to my waist,” said McLaughlin, who’s now a fisherman. “After three seconds, it’s not fun. The cold hits you real quick.” McLaughlin was recently at The Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition’s public awareness campaign to remind people to stay safe on the ice this winter, and prevent tragedies from happening. The coalition is made up of Mon-Fri: 9-6pm Sat: 9:30-4pm Sun: Closed

ice fisherman, and young kids fascinated with the water,” said Wagg, adding that people who walk their dogs might find themselves trying to rescue their pets if they fall through the ice. Brent MacIntyre of the Ottawa Police was also at the demonstrations, and said it’s the job of police to recover bodies from icy waters. He said on average, Ottawa has about five drowning cases a year. Ottawa Fire Services responded to just under 50 rescue calls last year, he said. “It’s a sizable problem,” MacIntyre said. “We get a lot of people getting stranded on the ice in some capacity, and

MacIntyre also said that the coalition is asking people to be aware if they venture out on the ice, and to use certified trails when around water. “River ice is inherently dangerous,” he said. “There’s swiftly-moving water. It may look solid, but it isn’t. And it could have tragic consequences.”

“We’re expanding our facility to make sure we can compete with anyone internationally that’s trying to come in,” said Allen Piddington, area manager for Harris Rebar. The company is building a new manufacturing facility anyways, but Harris Rebar certainly has LRT in mind when planning the expansion, Piddington said. “Just knowing this is coming out helps us plan for paying back the building,” he said. “It helps us make sure we can be a player here for a bigger project … This (LRT project) will be a kickoff to expand and help us reach out to new markets.” The expansion will likely create around 100 new jobs, said Pierre Paquette, who works in sales and estimating for Harris Rebar in Ottawa. Overall, the city estimates the LRT project will generate 20,000 person-years of employment and more than $3 billion in economic activity during construction alone.

Group celebrates 50 years of building peace kristy.wallace@metroland.com

EMC community – When Tony Michel was a teenager, he remembers traveling around the world as part of the Children’s International Summer Villages program. It touched his life so much, that he now volunteers his time with the program as chairman of the Ottawa chapter. Michel is only one story out of thousands who have taken part in the program, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

“The mission is really timeless,” said Michel. “The goals haven’t changed. It’s about promoting peace, building friendship, and helping (young people) become citizens of the world. And at the same time, it’s timely.” While the program has expanded over the last 50 years, its focus is to give children the opportunity to visit another country and take part in a wide range of unique educational and group activities. The activities help participants develop a cross-cultural under-

place,” he said. “The motto CISV has is building global friendship. It sounds pretty straightforward, but it’s actually quite powerful.” While it’s hard to know if the summer villages program has made the world a more peaceful place in the last 50 years, Michel said he strongly believes it has changed the lives of participants. “It’s always hard to imagine what the world would be like with or without something, but I know that it has personally had a strong impact,” he said. “You can see on thousands of testimonials from participants saying it changed their life.” He’s heard some participants say that the program has changed their life, including helping teenagers hang out

with the right crowd in high school. “This is a positive peer group to get involved in,” Michel said. “When you think of the ripple effects, it’s had an enormous impact.” He hopes the next 50 years bring more positive changes and expansion of the program. He jokes that maybe in 50 years there will be an “interplanetary” program. “Every year, there are more chapters in Canada, and every year there are more countries that can participate,” said Michel. “It’ll be a stronger organization as years go on.” For more information on the program, visit the international website at www.cisv.org or the Ottawa chapter’s site at cisvottawa.ca.

solution is to get kids to understand what it means to be global citizens,” said Michel. Pointing to the popular uprisings in Egypt or the terror attacks in Norway last year, Michel said people who have visited those countries before see these events in a different way. Participants in the summer villages program have the chance to experience these perspectives and will gain friends in such places whom they can contact. “It shows them the world is not this big, scary abstract

standing. The idea started in the wake of the Second World War when psychologist Doris Twitchell Allen sough to promote world peace by proposing children live in different countries in camp-like villages for a month. This would allow participants to learn early on in life that everyone belongs to the same human family, thereby helping to create peace in the world. “Adults already have their ways set, but the long-term

Westboro to continue ‘social mandate’ push Kristy Wallace

kristy.wallace@metroland.com

EMC news – While Gary Ludington has a list of development issues he’s concerned about in Westboro, he would like to see the neighourhood’s community association continue to establish a more social, as opposed to political, mandate. “In 2011, there was a bigger effort to try and find ourselves involved in a more social aspect of the neighbourhood,” said Ludington, president of the Westboro Community Association at their annual general meeting on Feb. 9. Ludington ran down a list of activities the community association was involved in over the past year, from improving Clare Gardens Park to talks

said his wife is not looking forward to his new look. “She says it’s a preview of what’s to come,” he said. The cause is an important one, Egli said. “Cancer touches us all,” he said. “Let’s face it – hair grows back,” Tierney added. To donate to one of the councillors’ campaigns, go to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation website, www.stbaldricks.org, click on “make a donation” and search for the councillor’s name. The shaving event will take place on Friday, Feb. 24 at the Civic Centre at Lansdowne Park before the puck drops for the Ottawa 67’s-Barrie Colts game at 7:30 p.m. It is the ninth-annual Shave for the Cure.

“We want to raise awareness of our native plants and why biodiversity is so important,” said Chapman. “Children have little naturalized green space to learn about diversity.” Ludington also said how pleased he was with the park’s renewal. Since he lives close by, he said he’s noticed children are there all year round. Ludington also pointed out a recent partnership formed with the Westboro Beach Community Association, where the groups applied for a grant to put an outdoor rink at Lion’s Park close to Scott Street and Churchill Avenue. “It’s a hidden gem,” said Ludington. “We’re happy to do what we can and see what we can get.”

EMC news – There will be a few naked scalps around the council horseshoe by the end of the month after three councillors signed on to the Shave for a Cure, an annual fundraiser that supports research of childhood cancers. The addition of councillors Keith Egli (KnoxdaleMerivale) and Tim Tierney (Beacon Hill-Cyrville) to the Shave for a Cure fundraiser is a small comfort to Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, who was the only city councillor to go bald for the cause last year. It wasn’t the first time Qadri shaved his head in the name of charity – the 2012 event will mark the sixth time he has gone bald for a fundraiser. His first foray into the

world of fundraising for childhood cancers was following the death of Tori Carswell, a young Stittsville girl who died of neuroblastoma in 2004 and in whose memory Tori’s Helping Hand charity was established in 2005. Qadri was approached by University of Ottawa medical students to participate in the Shave for a Cure last year, and he didn’t hesitate. The $850 he raised last year, beating his goal of $750 – the same goal he’ll try to repeat this year. Having a hairless dome is much different in the winter than it is in the summer, Qadri said. “Not that I have a lot of hair to begin with,” he joked. It will be the first time Egli has his head shaved, and he

of a possible farmers’ market opening up in Westboro. “The Wild Westboro garage sale has grown, and last year was our second year,” he said. “We’d like to see it grow more in neighbourhoods. I doubt it’ll compete with the Great Glebe Garage Sale, but it’s something we’d like to see expand in the neighbourhood. It’s a great way for people to meet people.” Westboro resident Deborah Chapman, who looks after the gardening along with other volunteers at Clare Gardens Park, shared her fellow gardeners’ vision for what they would like Clare Gardens Park to look like: a completed garden with paths for seniors and a learning experience for teenagers and children.

Ottawa ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) took part in a campaign asking for the provincial government to increase social assistance benefits. The rally was held in Westboro at Richmond Road and Roosevelt Avenue.

‘Stop social assistance poverty,’ Ottawa ACORN urges province Kristy Wallace

kristy.wallace@metroland.com

EMC news – Vivian Joynt wasn’t always living off social assistance. But after her brother died of severe burns he received in a gruesome trucking accident, she was laid off from her job and her father diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, she had a breakdown. “I didn’t always live off everybody. I had a job, and I had a life,” Joynt said. “Now I exist. But it’s really tough just existing.” Joynt was part of a group of ACORN members that rallied in Westboro on Feb. 2, asking the provincial government to improve social assistance benefits. She wore her used coat she bought 10 years ago and her 15-year-old used winter boots, sat in her scooter and talked about her day-to-day life living on social assistance. “Someday, I’d like to be able to get a new coat and new boots, but who knows when

and if that will ever happen,” she said. “I’m tired of being cold and I’m tired of going to the food bank and coming home with very little food.” Some of the issues raised at the rally were asking the provincial government to increase social assistance rates, improving medical coverage and supporting the housing benefit. Ernie Smith, another member who came out to the rally, said one of the benefits he needs is those related to medical care. “They’re cutting back on eyeglasses,” said Smith, who lives in a psychiatric care group boarding home and relies on social assistance. “We didn’t ask for what happened to us.” Yasir Naqvi, MPP for Ottawa Centre, said he appreciates ACORN’s activism in raising the issue of social assistance. He said the social assistance rates have been raised seven times since 2003 and the gov-

ernment is currently conducting a social assistance review. “As part of our poverty reduction strategy, we’ve undertaken one of the largest reviews of social assistance in 20 years,” Naqvi said. Led by experts in the field, Naqvi said there will be a comprehensive review coming forward with specific recommendations on how to renew the social assistance system. The final report with recommendations will be coming back in June of this year. “Obviously the government is willing to review and transform the social assistance system,” said Naqvi. “Reform and transformation is something we’re serious about.” Joynt hopes that social assistance benefits will change and that her friends who also need help will be able to live a better life. “It’s really, really tough to get by on what we’re given,” she said. “I’m here because I’m tired of being poor.”

EMC news – A last-minute realization that a proposed change to the city’s commemorative naming process would remove councillors from the process led Coun. Maria McRae to ask a city committee to review the idea. The River Ward councillor made the request just before city council approved its new five-year arts plan, which included a proposal to create an independent board to approve naming things such as roads and parks after people. Heritage advocates have been calling for a strengthened approach to commemorative naming after highly politicized attempts to name Ottawa landmarks in the last year – first, the renaming of parts of Richmond and Robertson roads in Bells Corners to Lloyd Francis Boulevard, and then the suggestion to name the new city archive after former mayor Charlotte Whitton. Both proposals were jettisoned following public outcry. The arts plan proposed a new commemorative naming policy that would be overseen by an arms-length board and included more citizen engagement in the process. But it wasn’t until just before

council was set to approve the arts plan that McRae received clarification that the proposed board would include citizens and heritage authorities – but not members of council. “Members of council, who are the only people accountable to their residents, deserve to be a part of this,” McRae said. “We should never be excluding elected officials from having a position on something that matters to our residents, because we are accountable to them and they are the ones that elect us.” McRae’s amendment asks the city’s governance renewal

committee to look at that portion of the proposed policy. That will be a quicker way to put the new commemorative naming plan into action if it’s needed, McRae said. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who came under fire for his Lloyd Francis Boulevard proposal, mistakenly registered his dissent on McRae’s idea, but he said in an interview that he supports her idea. “Just because something becomes controversial, isn’t a good enough reason for council to hand off the decision making to someone else,” Chiarelli said.

Horticulture Building makeover central to new plan Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – A plan to make the historic Horticulture Building into a meeting space, restaurant and more is a good idea, heritage advocates say – if only the building didn’t have to be moved. Updated design plans for the Lansdowne Park redevelopment were revealed at city hall on Feb. 7, and most notable were changes to the Horticulture Building. Julian Smith, the heritage architect in charge of that portion of the project, said a portion of the building will be permanently removed and the north facade, which faces Holmwood Avenue, will have a glass front instead of a brick wall. Another big change will be the size of the building – a couple of “bays” will be taken out, reducing the length of the structure and allowing it to be set back farther from neighbouring houses along Holmwood. The Horticulture Building will be the nexus of the transi-

tion between commercial and public spaces and gardens, so it will feature both commercial and public space. The building will be turned into a meeting space that can hold up to 500 people, with space for smaller community events and a kitchen. There may also be an info booth and a restaurant in the Horticulture Building, Smith said. That plan aligns with the new UNESCO guidelines that support adaptive reuse of heritage buildings – a policy Smith helped draft. But he confirmed that relocating heritage-designated buildings was not part of that strategy. The plans sounded good to members of Heritage Ottawa, the advocacy group that fought the city’s plan to move the Horticulture Building – and won. In fact, if the building remained in its current location, “We could live with that,” said David Flemming, who was president of Heritage Ottawa when the advocacy group objected to the city’s decision to move the Horticulture Building to allow an underground parking structure and a cinema to be built. Last June, the province’s Heritage Conservation Review Board ruled that the city should not repeal all or part of the by-

law designating the building as heritage in order to move it. Despite the decision, the city owns the Horticulture Building, so it has the final say about whether it will be moved, and the city has always maintained the building will be moved. The city intends to seek redesignation for the Horticulture Building, Smith said, but Flemming wasn’t convinced it would be possible, given all the changes to the structure and that fact that it will be moved – a process that’s estimated to cost $6 million. Still, Flemming and fellow Heritage Ottawa members said they liked the plans for the building, which dates back to 1914. “What we’re concerned about is that the cost is going to get more and more and somewhere along the way someone is going to say, ‘Why the hell are we spending $6 million relocating this non-designated building when we can just tear it down?’” Notably absent from the Feb. 7 presentation was any discussion of plans for the historic Aberdeen Pavilion, arguably the richest heritage building on the site. But Smith said in an interview that the 114year-old “cattle castle” will mostly remain unchanged.

Three times more trees, outdoor rink planned for park Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – Mayor Jim Watson highlighted how the Lansdowne revitalization project will “re-green” the park, adding grassy areas and boosting the number of trees from the current 230 to 880 when the project is done. Lansdowne currently has 2.4 hectares of parkland on 15 hectares of public property, including the stadium field. The new Lansdowne will have three times that amount, the mayor said. In particular, a grid of trees has been added to the design for the plaza in front of the Aberdeen Pavilion that will

house the farmers market. That won’t reduce the number of stalls planned for the farmers market, said Jeffrey Staates, a senior landscape architect with Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg, which is in charge of the public park portion of the Lansdowne project. A refrigerated outdoor skating and curling rink has been added to the most recent version of the plans, to be situated south of the Aberdeen Pavilion, adjacent to the community garden and orchard. It will be the second refrigerated rink along the banks of the Rideau Canal, the first being the Rink of Dreams that was built this winter at city hall.

The Lansdowne rink could be a general-purpose outdoor refrigerated ice surface, or it may be used for curling, Staates said. A children’s play park is planned beside the rink, which could function as a basketball court in the summer. A more intricate network of multi-use pathways is in the process of being developed, particularly between the refreshed Frank Clair Stadium and Queen Elizabeth DriveRideau Canal. Options for bicycle parking are still being considered, but there will need to be a lot of it, according to a member of the design review panel for the project.

The most up-to-date drawings of the plans for Lansdowne were revealed at city hall on Feb. 7 and show a lot of red-brick buildings surrounded by trees. Mayor Jim Watson says the revitalized site will be ‘alive and a place to live.’

Lansdowne plans begin to take shape Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – A tree-filled Lansdowne Park with a lot of red brick buildings makes up the revised vision for the site presented at city hall on Feb. 7. It took six months of haggling among a team of experts to produce a more detailed design of the storefront retail, glass-fronted cinema and wood-wrapped sports stadium, said planning committee chairman Peter Hume. “Creativity often comes from a conflict of ideas,” said the Alta Vista councillor, who is also a member of the design review panel for the Lansdowne project. “The process has been long and at times, extremely difficult.” The project will welcome visitors back into the “park,” which has mostly been closed off to the public and used for private events in recent mem-

ory. Designers and city council members emphasized the project will make Lansdowne a year-round destination with shops, homes, events and activities each day and night. The revitalized Frank Clair Stadium is one of the first elements that will be constructed and is supposed to be ready for Canadian Football League play by 2014. The stadium’s designer, Robert Claiborne, said the venue will hold up to 40,000 with the addition of temporary seating. Claiborne also indicated that floor-level club seats will be added to the stadium. The new south stands will be ringed by a curved wooden “veil” that will act as a transition between the curving landscape of the canal and the stadium, said George Dark, a planner who is also a member of the design review panel. It’s not meant to protect the stands from the elements, but will act

more as a design element, he added. The commercial “mixeduse” section of the site off Bank Street will help reconnect the commercial strips between the Glebe and Old Ottawa South, Mayor Jim Watson said. “It has been a gap in the urban fabric. This reconnects it,” said John Clifford, a principal at Perkins Eastman, which is in charge of the commercialresidential sector design. He referred to the ninebuilding portion of the Lansdowne redevelopment as the “urban village.” The city is still awaiting designs for a few towers that will be situated at Bank Street and Holmwood Avenue. The city is also awaiting resolution of the legal challenge to the partnership with Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, but the mayor said it makes sense to soldier on with the plans.

Light rail contract should pay off for taxpayers O

ttawa taxpayers are about to invest $2.1 billion in light rail. For all that cash, it would be nice to see benefits beyond rails and stations. City council cannot build in contract provisions that see the light-rail builders required to buy supplies locally and use local service providers because of the provincial Discriminatory Business Practice Act. Requiring local purchasing could benefit the local

economy, and in a cycle of spending, would provide spinoff benefits to the taxpayers footing the bill. The potential opportunities are staggering. While Ottawa may not be home to the steel mills needed to forge the actual rails, local companies could provide legal and financial services, supply electrical systems and install them, and pour the concrete for tunnels and overpasses. Each of those local companies would in turn

need to contract with local services and suppliers. And this is no fly-by-night project. The light-rail system will take years to build, meaning the jobs and investment would be around for a considerable period of time. While the province bars any contract provision that discriminates based on the “geographic location” of a business, the city is trying to get local companies linked up with the light-rail consortia.

The city took a first step in the right direction by organizing a trade show on Feb. 9 so local businesses could meet with the companies most likely to carry out construction. Coun. Steve Desroches said the city was acting as “matchmaker” between the sellers and buyers. With more than $2 billion on the line, a more formal process is needed if we don’t want most of the spending to

head out of town on a rail. If there are no contractual requirements to “buy local,” you can be sure the winning bidders will try and maximize their profits by buying the least expensive goods possible. That may mean companies from elsewhere in Canada, or internationally, will receive cheques while local businesses are left behind at the station, so to speak. If we can’t write a requirement into the contract, the

city can make its preferences clearly known to the winning bidders. No one is advocating “buy local” at any cost, but if an Ottawa-based supplier can come close – say within 10 per cent of the outsider’s price – then the rail contractors should play favourites and purchase the local goods or services. The city needs to sign, seal and deliver a contract that pays off for the winning bidders and pays off for taxpayers too.

Crisis? What crisis? CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

hat was an amazing photo in the paper, showing a long string of buses backed up on the Transitway, while police and OC Transpo people tried to sort out the mess after a crash of two buses during rush hour. You look at it and empathize immediately – with the people who were injured but also with the people on those other buses. Because you can picture yourself in there, waiting helplessly, wanting to get home. Or out in the cold, waiting for another bus while traffic piles up on Scott Street. Perhaps you can picture yourself angry, yelling at somebody to do something. The interesting thing is that people didn’t seem to be yelling at anybody. The passengers interviewed by local media were the opposite of angry. “It sucks but at the same time accidents are going to happen regardless so you just got to grin and bear it,” one guy told the Citizen, as he waited for another bus. “There’s not much to complain about,” said another. “It happens, right?” “Some people were getting a bit frustrated but most people were pretty calm about it,” a woman told CTV Ottawa. That calmness did not apply to the comments section of news websites, where many people used the occasion to vent spleen about OC Transpo. But they weren’t there when it happened – and they wouldn’t have been helpful if they were. What matters is that the people in the middle of the crisis seemed patient and accepting. Canadians are sometimes mocked for having these qualities – as contrasted to the more

assertive Americans – but they serve us well in times of stress. It’s true that orderliness, some say meekness, is not a characteristic that makes for exciting movies, but those people are the ones you want around you when things fall apart. I remember a brief power outage in June when the traffic lights went out at the corner of Carling and Woodroffe. That’s four lanes in either direction having to move through the intersection with no policeman in sight – at rush hour. In a different country, known more for its individualism, it would have been a festival of horn-honking, aggressive driving and crushed fenders. Here, it was a spontaneously orchestrated ballet of cars taking turns. No fenders were crushed. Now, afterwards, when the crisis had passed there might have been recriminations in letters to the editor, on websites and open-line radio, but when the situation demanded it, calmness was the order of the day. Those who were around during the Ice Storm of 1998 will remember that too. Once the crisis had passed and we knew we would survive and get our toasters working again, some people began to complain. Yet, when the crisis was on, we were patient, we worked together, co-operated, helped other people and generally acted like a real community. This is the enduring memory of that period and it is an accurate one. The bitching came later and we don’t think of that so much. It would be nice to think that a crisis always brings out the best in us. It’s probably more accurate to say that it brings out the best in some of us and something less than the best in others. You have only to look at the recent Italian cruise ship disaster to see vivid examples of both types of behaviour. On a more everyday level, think about what happens when a flight is cancelled. Some people get on with their lives as best they can. Other people yell at the person behind the counter. Those are the ones you don’t want behind you at Carling and Woodroffe.

The end of illness?

new book is making waves across North America. It has a profound message that’s making everyone sit up and listen: We’re all going to die. The End of Illness by Dr. David Agus retails for about $20. The oncologist and engineering professor from California tells you all the things you’re doing daily that will contribute to your death. Of course, his prognosis is a little darker than the inevitable. He insists that the lives most of us are living offer a pretty good chance that we will suffer cancer or heart disease at some point. So really, the message isn’t so much “we’re all going to die,” as it is, “we’re all going to die a slow and painful death that we’ll fight to the bitter end,

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

even though in most cases it doesn’t do much good.” It’s pretty dark, even for an oncologist. Agus actually sees cancer differently than many in the medical field. Rather than something one acquires, he views it as a verb. “We are all cancering,” he told Jon Stewart on The Daily Show in early January. In other words, cancer is something that is in all of us. But depending on our unique make-up and the individual way in which we live our lives, we may or may not be

aware of its presence in our lifetime. The scariest part of Agus’s message is that we’re all doing things that make it quite likely that the cancer or heart disease will surface. For Agus, it comes down to activities that increase lifethreatening inflammation. Over time, Agus believes this inflammation is what will cause the diseases to manifest within us. Every time we get the flu, we increase our risk. Every time we fly on a plane, we increase our risk. He warns against sitting for more than four hours each day, even for someone who works out and is otherwise in good health. Sitting for extended periods is so bad that Dr. Agus equates it to smoking a pack of cigarettes per day. If you think about

it, even if we didn’t sit at our jobs, we would very likely sit for four hours each day at meals, watching TV, or traveling in the car. To be healthy individuals, and to ward off cancer and heart disease, in other words, our daily work should be physical. (As a writer, may I just say this scares the heck out of me). Agus is also anti-vitamin. He cites studies in his work that demonstrate taking vitamin supplements can do more harm than good. Vitamins feed healthy cells, he reasons, and there’s much to suggest they feed cancerous ones as well. It’s best to get daily vita-

mins from food. But again, if you’ve recently made the healthy switch to organic fruits and vegetables, you may be disappointed in Agus’s advice. He argues organic, local foods are the only way to go. Anything that’s travelled has been exposed to toxins in the air, reducing any organic quality it may have. He recommends opting for frozen foods over fresh in the off-season. Among Agus’s other controversial findings? Routine trumps quantity when it comes to rest. Go to bed and wake at the same time every day. Even if you only get five hours sleep, you’ll be better off health-wise than your neighbour who sleeps eleven hours a night off-schedule. Oh, and don’t nap! It messes up your system. Finally, wear comfortable shoes. High heels and other

fashion shoes that cut off circulation cause inflammation. And according to Agus, if we don’t want to die a slow and painful death, inflammation must be stopped before it starts. He advocates people over 50 take statins daily (another controversy), along with precautionary baby aspirin (75 milligrams). It’s hard to know how much of what Agus says is true. It’s certainly causing a stir in medical circles. As with most medical studies, I plan to take what’s useful – increase movement in my day, eat a little healthier – and maybe wait for further evidence on vitamin supplements. We’re all going to die. It would be nice to know that Agus’s prognosis is flawed, and that death won’t come through slow, painful, untreatable disease.

Trade show attracts businesses big, small from across city The trade-show discussions were very preliminary, but fruitful, Piddington said. “It was very worthwhile. It was a good opportunity to meet with some of the consortias and get an idea of who the consortias are and show is involved with them,” Piddington said. While his company works regularly with some of the local partners who are members of the consortia, Piddington said, it’s valuable to get face time with the international partners. “It gives us an opportunity to introduce ourselves not only to the local partners, but the more the international partners who don’t know us,” he said. It was also a chance for local companies to connect with each other and build teams, Paquette said. “They have a good team already as the consortia, but they are looking for all the substrates – the local guys to help them out and create a successful business,” he said. Meanwhile, other companies, like Ottawa South-based Taggart Construction, came to the trade show unsure about how they could fit into the project.

“We hadn’t really done much on it up until today,” Taggart said, adding that he was hoping to connect with all three consortia in the planning phase. “We wanted to see if we could do some work for all three of them, instead of getting onto one team or another,” he said. “It’s such a large project that I think it’s just going to be good for the whole industry,” Taggart said. A consortia of companies will be chosen before the end of the year, with construction on the light-rail from Tunney’s Pasture to Blair Station to start in 2013. LRT is scheduled to

be up and running by mid2018. “There is a long list of products and services that will be needed,” said GloucesterSouth Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches. “It’s going to be a huge shot in the arm and we nee do give local businesses the opportunity, too,” he said. The event was a partnership with the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, and business people said it was something they would like to see happen again. “Certainly this is the first type of event that I’ve seen the city put on, or the industry in general,” Taggart said.

Trustee wants to keep kids fit

Severn students learn diversity by quilting Kristy Wallace

EMC news – When Theresa Kavanagh was in school, she remembers when children would go outside and play. “For the most part, you just went outside and did stuff,” said the public school board trustee for Bay Ward. With video games and technologies today that don’t keep young people active, Kavanagh feels she has the solution: give students non-academic credit for consistently doing regular or daily physical activity outside of school. The school board’s education committee unanimously passed the motion on Jan. 30, and it set to go before the full board at a meeting on Feb. 14. As part of the plan, Kavanagh would like to see a pilot program for students in grades 6, 7 and 8 that would be overseen by a university graduate student. She also said she would like see the pilot project run at three to six schools in

Theresa Kavanagh, Bay Ward’s public school board trustee, wants students to get rewarded for living an active lifestyle. the district. Students would track their physical activity outside of school in a journal or blog that would be signed by an adult. The activity could be as simple as walking to school or riding your bike. Kavanagh said she wanted to focus on that age group because it’s an age where students are less likely to have free time to go outside and do physical activities. “It’s the age I find when kids stop playing,” she said.

“We want to reach kids that don’t have any kind of culture of physical activity, and getting them to understand why it’s important.” Kavanagh said school curriculum is already jampacked, and physical education is not mandatory past a certain grade. “It’s a problem, and it’s a shame. I do think that’s unfortunate,” she said. “The curriculum comes from the province, and it raises a bigger

question.” As part of the idea, Kavanagh said she encouraged staff to contact that Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the city’s chief medical officer of health for guidelines and advice. She received letters of support from these partners. Overall, Kavanagh feels that if students start getting active, they’ll also do better in school. “I’m a very, very big enthusiast of physical activity. I know how important it is,” she said. “The upsides to physical activity are it’s very social, and does a lot for mental health. Physical activity should not be overlooked.”

EMC community – Grade 5 student Kimberly Clairin wanted to quilt a square that reflected her Haitian background. Benni Evensen, a Grade 6 student, quilted a square showing soccer – a popular sport in his family’s country, Denmark. With this diversity, making quilts with students from Severn Avenue Public School was a joyful experience for Edna Patterson-Petty. “One thing I loved about this is the diversity, and to work with kids from Pakistan, Denmark – all of these students in one classroom,” she said. Patterson-Petty was at the school on Friday, Feb. 10 to show off the finished product of various squares, created by students that expressed who each individual is and something about their background. “Most of the time when you talk to kids about art, they think about drawing or painting and that’s it,” she said, adding it’s important for her to show young people that fabric art is another way they can express themselves. Patterson-Petty, who’s from East St. Louis, Ill., hosts workshops on quilting to schools all over the United States. She’s a recycler, who creates her art out of cotton and silk fabric, old clothing, organic and non-organic materials. Crystal Meriwether, culture and education officer with the 382179.0209

United States Embassy, said bringing Patterson-Petty’s work to Severn Avenue Public School was an important part of sharing ideas and education between her country and Canada. “We’re really pleased to be having Edna do this project,” she said, adding Patterson-Petty’s husband recently spoke at Ridgemont High School, giving a lecture on black history in the United States. While Patterson-Petty’s work is described as depicting slavery and liberation, she said it’s all about her audience’s perception. She added there’s been a few times where her quilting has dealt with themes such as women’s strength or jazz music. “I don’t set out to do it that way. It just unfolds that way,” Patterson-Petty said. She hopes her time at the west-end school shows students to be open to new things, and shows them a different way to express themselves. “Whether it’s writing, poetry or art, (I want young people to) be expressive and open themselves to new ideas,” Patterson-Petty said. The idea has stuck with some students at Severn. “I learned that you can be creative when you quilt and even if you mess up, you can fix it,” said student Khalid Omar. “And you can make it a good thing and make it anything you want.”

vincial Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health at CHEO, said prolonged negative moods and changes of behaviour are warning signs.

Ottawa 67’s making temporary move to Scotiabank Place Blair Edwards

EMC sports – The Ottawa 67’s are headed to Kanata. The Ontario Hockey League club has worked out a deal with the Ottawa Senators, allowing the 67’s to play two seasons at Scotiabank Place starting this fall, until construction is finished on the Ottawa Civic Centre. Construction on the Lansdowne Park redevelopment is expected to finish in 2014. The deal is contingent on the Lansdowne project, which includes a retrofit of the Civic Centre, clearing a legal challenge from the Lansdowne Park Conservancy, and approval from city council. Fans from the city’s east end will have to adjust to a longer commute. “Certainly this is going to be an extra burden to drive further than they’re used to,” said Jeff Hunt, owner of the 67’s. “That was a major worry – the effect this move would have on fans.” But the only alternative to moving the hockey club was for fans to endure a “virtual war-zone of construction,” at the Civic Centre, Hunt said. “It’s certainly, I think, the best alternative we would

have.” The hockey club, which attracts roughly 7,000 fans per game, has had great success playing home games at Scotiabank Place in the past, said Hunt. The 67’s will have to work their at-home schedule around the Senators road trips. “There won’t be any scheduling conflicts because we quite literally can’t do that,” Hunt said. “The Sens travel a lot – if they’re down in California for a weekend of games, then we can play at home.” The move could mean a few changes in the hockey operations side of the business as well, said Hunt – meaning some players may have to find new billets and transfer to high schools in Kanata. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she doesn’t anticipate the move creating traffic problems. “They have a smaller number of people then they do at a Sens game,” she said, adding that the audience is similar to the number of people attracted to a concert or other special event at Scotiabank Place. “I think (the move) makes a lot of sense with the construction going on in Lansdowne,” said Wilkinson.

EMC community – Parents with children in crisis will now have a road map to help them navigate the city’s mental health services thanks to a Suicide Safer Ottawa summit held at Ben Franklin Place in Nepean on Feb. 8. The summit brought together people from more than 40 service organizations to

talk about supports that are already in place and what can be done to prevent future youth suicide. The talk, which took place on Bell Let’s Talk Day, which raised money for mental health issues, also resulted in a tool kit called Know What To Do, which provided tips and resources for parents whose children are in crisis. Dr. Ian Manion, the executive director of the Pro-

huge issue,” he said. “It happens a lot and there are always signals to spot.” Khatheer was part of a youth panel that talked to the crowd about letting young people drive the response system and tell service providers what they would like to see as youth mental health resources. Khatheer said his pride in working with others at the YSB helped him to overcome some of his own issues. “They gave me so many skills; things I didn’t even know I was capable of,” he said. They let me be myself in a supportive environment.” Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said the community support received since his son Jamie took his own life has helped his family members to get out of bed each morning. Hubley said finding help for Jamie – who suffered from depression – was a big thing for the family. “Now we have committed to the cause so that his life wouldn’t have ended in vain,” Hubley said, adding that he wants to prevent another family from the pain of losing a child to suicide. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi came together to organize the summit. Naqvi said he would like to see Ottawa build on the system that already exists, with support from the province. “This issue isn’t going away,” he said. “We need to move on it.”

Roadshow is coming back to Ottawa For complete information see ad below TERRY INKLER Canadian Collectors Roadshow Staff Writer After very successful events throughout Canada, the Roadshow has come back to Ottawa. So you had better search through your attics and garages, go through your lock boxes and jewellery, because you may be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it! Roadshow experts are here to examine all your antiques, collectibles, gold and silver.

Local Roadshow Expert Examines Some Gold Jewellery

During a show nearToronto, a woman came in with a jewellery box that she had just inherited from her late aunt.“I don’t wear jewellery,” explained Barbara Engles,“so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell it”. She was very excited when she was able to walk away with a cheque for over $2,100 for jewellery she was never going to wear.

Expert Elijah Gold explains,“We have noticed a substantial increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver coming to the Roadshow, which makes sense considering how high it’s currently trading at. He added,“The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot!”

50 Cent piece, valued at over $2,000!! She had a nice assortment of coins that were not rare dates, but she was able to sell them for their silver content”. She explains,“I never would have thought that my old tin afford to renovate my kitchen”. Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”.

At another Roadshow event, a woman, named Mira Kovalchek, walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her as a young child by her grandfather. She finally decided to come into the Roadshow and see what he had given her. She was ecstatic to learn she had coins dating back to the late 1800’s, some of which were extremely rare. Roadshow consultant Perry Bruce explains“We had uncovered an 1871 QueenVictoria

other was a great one for routine. To her there was a purpose for everything, and everything had to be done in order. It seemed to me that I was always being taught a lesson to prepare me for the next step in life. And so it was, that at the supper table one night, Mother announced that I was old enough to wash out my underwear and stockings every night before I went to bed, just like my older sister Audrey had been doing for years. Of course, this brought a snicker from my brothers. It was a time when any mention of underpinnings was done in hushed tones. And here was my mother announcing to everyone as we were digging into our meatloaf, that I would be washing out my own underwear before I went to bed. I could feel my face flush red with embarrassment. It certainly didn’t bother Father who simply asked Everett to pass the gravy, as if being told at the supper table that his youngest was now old enough to wash out her own underwear was right up there with talking about the weather! My sister Audrey, every night, just before we headed up the stairs for bed, went to the kitchen basin, and washed out her underwear and stockings. Then she draped them

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories over the back of a chair and pushed it close to the Findlay Oval, so that everything would be dry enough to wear in the morning. Right after we had readied up the kitchen, Audrey put the big kettle on the front of the stove to come to a boil. It would take a while to be hot enough, so there was still time to leaf through the Eaton’s catalogue. Mother said Audrey would make sure I did the chore properly and I was to do what my sister said. I couldn’t for the life of me see what was so difficult about washing out my underwear and long beige cotton stockings. Dip them in the hot sudsy water, rinse them in another washbasin, and hang them on the back of a chair. That would be it. Audrey said she would do her washing first so that I would get the hang of it. I told her I couldn’t see what could be so difficult about washing out a pair of flower-bag underpants and a pair of long stockings. I assured her I was perfectly capable of doing it

on my own. “Suit yourself,” she said, and turned back to Eaton’s catalogue at the kitchen table. The washing part was easy. It was wringing out the water that was a chore. But I got out as much of the water as I could, and took the pants and the stockings over to a chair by the stove. It was soon obvious that I was a long way from getting out the wash water, and they were soon making a pool on the kitchen floor. Mother ordered me to get some newspaper out of the wood box to catch the drip. Several times Audrey started to open her mouth to give me instructions, but Mother just shook her head and Audrey said nothing. When we climbed the stairs to go to bed, I took a last look at what I had accomplished without any help from my sister Audrey. By then the newspapers were saturated and the pants and stockings were still pouring out water. I sneaked my hand over to Audrey’s chair, and

everything was almost dry. Oh, well, I thought, they will all be dry by morning. And I went to bed content that I had learned another lesson on growing up. The next morning I tore downstairs to retrieve my belongings. Audrey had long since claimed hers. Well, there were the stockings, still dripping wet, and the flour bag underwear as stiff as a piece of cardboard. “What happened?” I wailed. “Well” Mother said, “if you had listened to your sister and watched her, you would have seen that she rinsed everything twice. You didn’t, and the underwear is still full of soap. The stockings are wet because you wouldn’t let Audrey show you how to wring them out. So I guess you will have to wear them to school wet.” And she turned and went to the table to put out the porridge bowls. Mother did let me put on a pair of dry flour bag underpants, and a dry pair of stockings to wear to the Northcote School. But just as Mother hoped I would, I learned two valuable lessons that night. One was to take advice when it was handed out and when I didn’t know what I was doing, and the other lesson was that any young lady worth her salt washed out her underwear and stockings every night before she went to bed.

Jam puts new spin on homemade buns

hese baked rolls are similar to cinnamon buns, but they’re made with raspberry jam instead of the usual sugar filling. They’re delicious, and very easy and quick to prepare, particularly if you mix the dough in a food processor. DOUGH

2 cups flour 1 tbsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. white sugar 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 cup buttermilk

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff FILLING

1 tbsp. soft butter or margarine 3 tbsp. raspberry jam Before you start, lightly grease a 9” round cake pan. • To make the dough: In a food processor, measure the dry ingredients into the processor bowl. Process for five seconds to mix the

ingredients evenly throughout the flour Add the oil and buttermilk, and process until the mixture forms a ball. This will take less than a minute. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface, and knead four times. Part of the kneading has already been done by the mixing action of the processor.

If you are using a mixing bowl rather than a food processor, combine the dry ingredients in the bowl. Add the oil and buttermilk, and stir until blended. Turn out on a lightly floured surface, and knead 10 to 12 times. After kneading the dough, shape it into a ball, then roll it out with a rolling pin on a lightly-ﬂoured surface to make a rectangle 15”x 10”. • For the ﬁlling: Spread the softened butter or margarine over the dough. Drop the raspberry jam in three mounds spaced equally down the long center line of the

rectangle. Spread the jam to within 1/4” of the edges of the dough. Roll up the rectangle tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the seam to seal. With a sharp knife, cut the roll into 10 slices, each about one inch wide. Arrange the slices, cut side up, in the prepared pan. You’ll be able to fit seven or eight around the edge of the pan without crowding them, leaving the last ones to go in the center. Bake at 400 F (205 C) for 25 to 30 minutes. If the tops start to brown before the time is up, cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil.

When done, remove the pan from the oven. Set it on a cake rack, and let cool for five minutes. • To transfer the rolls to a serving plate, start by placing a cake rack over the top of the pan. Using pot holders, hold the pan and rack together so they don’t shift. Flip everything over so the cake rack is on the bottom. With pot holders, lift the pan off the rolls. The buns will be upside down on the rack.Now, place a serving plate over the bottom of the buns. Hold the plate and cake rack so they don’t move, and flip everything over again. You’ll end up with an attractive circle of raspberryfilled rolls on the plate ready to serve. Makes 10 buns.

Lewis is looking for a warm and loving home where he can entertain himself on a hamster wheel and get some love and affection from his owners.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR PET GOES MISSING

0216.379773

Sometimes our furry friends escape, but there are steps to take to ensure this scary and stressful time goes smoothly and your pet gets home safe and sound as quickly as possible. If you have lost an animal, fill out a Lost Animal Report with the Ottawa Humane Society at www.ottawahumane.ca and email us a photo of your pet. The OHS receives thousands of lost animals every year. Submitting a complete Lost report will help us to quickly identify your pet, if it is brought to us. Submitting a Lost report is not a substitute for visiting the municipal animal shelter to look for your animal – visit the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Road to check if your pet has been brought in. Be aware that your dog could be almost anywhere. Exploring dogs have travelled as much as 20 kilometers in a single day. Do not limit your search to your neighbourhood only.

If you have lost your cat, search the area at dusk and dawn – be cautious around cars and garbage cans. Inform your neighbours and ask them not to feed your cat. Placing kitty litter outside may be enough to entice a nervous or shy cat to return to a site that smells familiar. Photos of most stray cats recently admitted to our shelter are posted online at www.ottawahumane.ca. Pictures are posted within 24 hours of admission, and the site is updated every hour. We will do our best to help with your search, but as the owner, you are ultimately responsible to look for and identify your pet. Make sure you have up-to-date photos of your pet so that you can put up posters in your neighbourhood. Make fliers that include the lost date, description and any unique markings,

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

a picture and your phone number – a reward motivates people! Be specific when describing your lost pet. Example: A large 6-year-old domestic short-haired cat, all black with white paws, neutered and declawed, friendly with people, answers to the name Newton Or: A 3-year-old medium size dog, 25 to 30 pounds, black and tan, shepherd mix, female, spayed, a little timid – answers to the name Shadow. Place a lost ad in the newspaper and check the Found section. Have your pet microchipped so that it can be scanned at a local vet clinic or at the OHS, and make sure to update microchip information if you move. Keep identification tags up-to-date with your phone number and address. A City of Ottawa License will also help identify your pet.

Kiki My Mom adopted me on November 9, 2011 and I was 2 years old. My previous owner was sad to let me go because her husband was allergic. The house I used to live in had two many animals, 2 dogs and other animals outside, i.e. horses, barn cats and I don’t think she had time for me. When I first came to my new home however, I had a bad habit but my new Mom was so patient with me and now she just adores me. I know because she keeps telling me! Now my life is grand! I live alone with my Mom and have the run of the house and she has time to play with me and takes good care of me. I have many spots to lie around and enjoy the sunshine and look outside at nature and birds. I’m so grateful to my Mom for rescuing me. She calls me Princess sometimes because that is exactly how I feel. Do you think your pet is cute enough to be “THE PET OF THE WEEK”? Submit a picture and short biography of your pet to find out!

Hoffman making impact in second season with B-Sens By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Mike Hoffman is eager to embrace the challenge. Fresh off playing a key role in the Binghamton Senators’ charge to a Calder Cup crown last season, the 22-year-old native of Kitchener, Ont., feels ready to assume a greater role in his second season with the Ottawa Senators’ primary affiliate. “We’ve got a young team,” said Hoffman, who blossomed into a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League star after going undrafted and unclaimed by any team in the Ontario Hockey League. “I think everyone’s got a little bit more (responsibility) on them, including myself. I want to be scoring more goals and getting more points to help the team win as much as I can.” Hoffman’s pedigree certainly suggests a guy built for offence. In his final two junior seasons, he racked up 98 goals and 179 points, helping the Drummondville Voltigeurs reach the Memorial Cup in 2008-09 before earning QMJHL most valuable player honours with the Saint John Sea Dogs the following season. In between those two campaigns, the Senators made the 5-11, 175-pound centre a fifth-round pick (130th overall) in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. They’re hoping Hoffman turns into one of those late-round gems down the road, but some grooming down on the farm will come first. “(Hoffman) is a super skilled guy with top-end speed, and he’s wiry strong,” said Randy

Lee, the Senators’ director of hockey operations and player development. “He’s got a great one-time shot. He has to be an impact player every time he plays down there (in Binghamton) and he can do that. He can be a difference maker.” Life in the American Hockey League hasn’t always been rosy for Hoffman. He spent time during his rookie pro season with the Elmira Jackals of the East Coast Hockey League and started the Calder Cup playoffs as a healthy scratch. But by the end of the B-Sens’ title run, head coach Kurt Kleinendorst was calling Hoffman his most improved player over the course of the post-season. “This guy was a top guy, the MVP of the Quebec league, so for him it was an adjustment,” said Lee. “He was patient and he waited for his opportunity in the playoffs last year … he carved out a bigger role for himself. It was a good experience for him and he made a good contribution to the championship win.” Hoffman called the Calder Cup run “a good confidence builder for me.” Though his aim is to become a “complete twoway player,” Hoffman also knows what’s brought him to the point. “I’m going to have to be an

offensive player, someone who’s putting pucks in the net and putting up points as much as I can,” said Hoffman, the B-Sens’ second-leading scorer behind

Rob Klinkhammer. “I definitely want to play in the NHL someday. For now, I just want to get better every single day I go to the rink.”

WASHINGTON CAPITALS Wednesday, Feb. 22, 7 p.m., TSN The Capitals are in a huge dogfight with the Florida Panthers for Southeast Division supremacy – not to mention a Stanley Cup playoff berth. While Alex Ovechkin remains this team’s most dynamic offensive talent, he’s nowhere near the 60-goal scorer he once was a few years back. The Caps’ attack is also hurting with the loss of centre Nicklas Backstrom to a concussion over a month ago. That ramps up the pressure on

the likes of Alexander Semin and Brooks Laich to produce more goals. Dennis Wideman provides help in that area from the back end, along with John Carlson. In goal, Tomas Vokoun provides Washington with steady, dependable play.

BOSTON BRUINS Saturday, Feb. 25, 7 p.m., CBC Though their play has been somewhat average of late, the Stanley Cup champion Bruins are still a formidable force and a top candidate to repeat in June. This is a team loaded with offensive threats, led by the versatile Patrice Bergeron and the bruising Milan Lucic. Young phenom Tyler Seguin is having a breakout season in his second full season in Boston, while Chris Kelly is putting up career numbers and Brad Marchand

remains a perpetual pest who’s also a major impact player. Zdeno Chara is the big man in many ways on the Boston blue line. In Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask, the Bruins boast arguably the best goaltending tandem in the NHL.

Great Canadian Theatre Company goes ‘below mainstream’ kristy.wallace@metroland.com

R0011263657/0202

EMC entertainment – Since Undercurrents: theatre below the mainstream started at the Great Canadian Theatre Company two years ago, festival programmer Patrick Gauthier said new audiences are coming to enjoy live theatre. “All theatres want young people to come to the theatre and trick is how do you reach that audience who don’t often think of theatre?” said Gauthier. “It’s not that they’re ad-

verse to it, it’s just not necessarily an option. They might go to movies or the bar, but theatre isn’t on their radar.” The festival, which runs until Feb. 19 at the Great Canadian Theatre Company, is now in its second season and deals with all types of subject matter. “It’s not quite as mainstream, and it’s intimate,” said Gauthier, adding each performance plays to an audience capped at about 70 people.

As part of the festival, the theatre company showcases six shows produced by independent theatre companies from across the country. He said the theatre company puts out a call for applications that goes out in the early spring, but theatre management also find plays when they travel to different cities across Canada. Gauthier said the idea was conceived in 2009 when he and theatre director Lise Ann Johnson wanted to find a way to make better use of the theatre’s studio space. “Our studio was used quite a bit, but not as often as it could be,” he said. “She had this idea for a festival, and I thought it was a great idea.” In its first year, the festival was a success and the theatre company decided to bring it back for a second season. Gauthier said it was hard to know whether or not the festival would be successful. “We were hoping it would be annual, but we had no idea,” he said. This year, three of the six

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, start thinking about curbing your spending. Your finances are in trouble if you don’t make some changes. More is going out than is coming into your accounts.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a good night is in store this week. The night brings rewards you did not expect. Working hard yields more than financial success.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, there’s not much you can do about the current situation. Complaining about things won’t solve anything, so why waste the breath? Better news is on the horizon.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Trust your instincts, Gemini. Someone who seems like they have your best interests at heart really may have ulterior motives. Heed Capricorn’s sage advice. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may feel like you’re the only one keeping the ship from sinking. However, this is not the case. Behindthe-scenes work is taking place, too. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, it seems as if drama is always following you. That’s because you tend to be the life of the party or prefer all eyes be on you. Think about being less conspicuous. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it’s hard to keep friends if you are overly critical of the way they live their lives. Remember, no one is perfect — including you. Keep an open mind.

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.

To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of #23 breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. < Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing.

Heartburn Reflux

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 95% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy 7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. < Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC < Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux.
